We enjoyed a great weekend - taking pictures of mommy with hair and celebrating Dave's birthday. David said to me when he came home from school today - "I see you still have your hair!" I told him I didn't know when it would come out (maybe a couple of weeks?) but he might leave for school and I have it and then come home and it is gone! He always draws pictures of me with spiky hair and I told him I don't think there will be spikes left this time.
I was encouraged by a story of a woman around my age, diagnosed with breast cancer 1 month after her 5th child was born and then found out it had metastasized to her brain when the baby was 5 months old. That baby is now 5 years old and she has been on a preventive drug ever since with minimal difficulties.

Thanks for sharing that encouraging story. So good to hear. Love you lots and hope you had a good time celebrating with Dave. Miss you all!
Praying that you have your own story like this to be able to share with someone else, like this woman was able to do with you! Bridget
I am so glad that lady (not by accident)was able to share her story,a very encouraging story with you. You will as Bridget said be able to share your story and your "grace" moments to encourage others, just as you have done for me along this journey. May God continue to bless and keep you. With our prayers and love. If you need anything please call. Ruby
To add to that encouraging story, Barbara, if you are feeling OK and are up to attending an inspiring discussion:

Dear Barbara,
Our church continues to lift you up in prayer to God Almighty Who loves us more than we can fathom and Who is weaving our individual lives to complete His perfect plan.
We are praying for God's divine healing for you physically and that you will feel His peace. Continue to trust in Him even when you do not understand His plan. You have been such a great testimony of this already-you are a blessing!
In Christ,
Pastor and Nancy Lasko
We love you sharing the openness of the boys honesty! They certainly will keep you laughing through even the toughest times, though I know you don't want them to go through this too. I think you should post one of David's drawings!! I know how well he draws. He definitely draws his favorite things, which will always be you!!
Love You,
L J
